l CANDY Wnarrnn f.

Application led August 23, 1927. Serial No.,.214,948.

A verytransparent materials, are highly desir? able, but' because of theinherent nature of the material, moisture is absorbed from the candy,and causes the cellophane or fenestra .(dependingupon which is used), toadhere to the candy, thus making a very'unsatisfactory wrapper,especially in warm weather. The solution of this problem I have obtainedby using wax paper or a similar paper as` a major portion of thewrapper, causing sight openings to be formed in a portion of the wrapperdirectly over .the part of the candy I wish to display and placingcellophane or L fenestra over the sight opening.

f Another object is to provide a package of unique construction for the'vending of candy or similar articles.

IVith this, and other objects in view, the invention resides in thefeatures of construction described, and the principle upon which theyoperate, arrangementof parts, and the ycombination thereof, which willhereinafter be fully described.

Referring to the drawing v Figure 1 is a perspective of the package;Figure 2 is a section taken through the Wrapper which is removed fromthe candy; Y and,

Figure 3 is a section takenthrough the" package shown in' Figure 1.

In the drawings, similar parts are designated by like'numerals:- f

A Numeral l designates a candy package v having a wrapper 2, composed ofwax or glassine paper 3, and sight openings 4,1 a

transparent material 5, such as cellophane or fenestra covering the saidsight opening.

Within the wrapper is shown a piece of candy 6, having a depressed uppersurface'7 on which are shown nuts and similar articles 8.

As actually used, the candy'will be placed inthe wrapper so that theportion of the i candy to be displayed will come directly beneath thetransparent material'. By having a slight depression in the top of thecandy, the candy will not Contact with the transparent material and thusavoid the dan er of thecandy adhering to the wrapper. owever, it hasbeen found that even Without depressing the surface ofthe candy, thecandy Will not adhere to any great extent, as the contacting surfacelisso small that there is very little adhesion. The display of the contentsof small package goods vis highly desirable and fills a long felt needin the trade.

i It is evidentthat the type of package shown and described herein maybevaricd, and I do not limit myself to the specic type shown herewith;and allow myself the' privilege of applying my invention to the varioustypes of articles which may fall within the scope of my invention.

Although I have specifically described my invention as used inconnection with a candy package, I do lnot limit myself `to such use; asthe wrapper may be used in connection with cakes. bread, fruits, meats,and many other articles.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and novel is A candypackage comprising a candy piece having a recess in one of its surfaces,a 55 wrapper of material which does not stick readily to the candypiece, and having a sight opening coinciding with the recess formed insaid candy piece, anda sheet of transparent material which does stickreadily to said candy piece placed over the recess inthe piece andsecured to said wrapper out of contact with said' candy piece.

In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
